Measure your feet

Wear the type of socks similar to the style of shoe and measure your footprint, as explained below.

Phase 1

Stick a sheet of paper on the floor and against a wall. Adopt a natural position by dividing your weight over your two legs, your feet ferm on the sheet of paper, your heels glued against the wall.

Phase 2

With the help of a pencil, mark on the sheet of paper the end of your foot. Hold the pencil as straight as possible. Do the same operation for the other foot and repeat one more time, in order to be sure. If you can rely on a third party to help you, don't hesitate. It is rather uncommon that our both feet have the same length. Consequently, make a decision based on the measure of the longest feet. Use the table above.

Blake stitch construction

For more flexibility and lightness…

Principle
The upper is fixed directly to the outsole by means of an assembly stitching that runs through the outsole.

History
In 1858, a young employee from the sewing machine manufacturer Singer makes an invention that is a small revolution in the world of footwear. It democratizes the shoe sewn on leather sole and meets with great success.

Advantages
The Blake welt models are light and flexible, and even more on a rubber sole. The visual of the shoe is finer than a Goodyear construction. However, from a technical point of view, durability and impermeability are less than with a Norwegian or Goodyear construction.

Plain leather

Leather sole

Paraboot has been manufacturing shoes on leather soles since our foundation. Cut from the best cattle hide, these compressed by passing the leather through rollers to increase the density. It is then more rigid, and more resistant and less permeable to water. Therefore, you will appreciate the comfort of a leather sole after a few days of wearing. Happiness comes next: the shoes will be on your feet for your comfort.

Made in Italy

Tradition and expertise

Country of tradition, Italy has been able to keep know-how and recognized expertise, for patinas or genuine welt moccasin. In addition, there are still a wide range of machinery that expand the range of possibilities.
